Gas prices have plummeted in the past 2 Years! The National Average in the United States is under $1.75 a gallon according to AAA. American Families are expected 2 save $320 this year! That's on top of a $660 A Household in savings last year! Cheap Gas is a HUGE Advantage 4 Democrats! Gas Prices haven't had this dramatic of a fall in the 2 years leading to a Presidential Election since World War 2

Funny how they take credit when things go right, but blame someone else when things go wrong. It was not his doing that gas went down, US production was primarily on Private property, that forced OPEC's hand and the supply exceeded the demand, basic capitalist principles

CW2 Ernest Krutzsch Absolutely spot on! OPEC is on the ropes, and he will take credit for this, even though he had nothing to do with it! In fact, the EPA put onerous regulations in place.

Although "fact checkers" dispute this claim, President Obama was banking on increased gas prices to make his green energy projects economical. Members of his Administration openly talked about the benefits of European-style gas prices in this context. He opposed fracking, purportedly to "save the environment", but most notably to prevent gas prices from plummeting. Now that he is struggling to cobble together some kind of legacy, he will take credit for anything and everything that looks even remotely favorable. So, let's say that all of this is disputable. Let's then focus on the national treasure that he and his party have squandered on green energy industries that have failed. No matter which side he attempts to take in this debate, President Obama looks like a loser simply because he does not embrace the only thing that has ever worked in this country, free market capitalism. In fighting it, he and his party cannot claim the credit for any positive results.

I will make four bold statements that I cannot prove.
1) Every President and every party has tried to take credit for any economic good that happens when they are in power.
2) Every President and every party has tried to shift the blame for any economic bad that has happened, to the other party.
3) The economy is a wild bull. Good things happen. Bad things happen. Most of that has little to do with the people in power.
4) If any President or party accepted the responsibility for bad economic news, or gave credit to the other party for good economic news. We the people would have one huge collective heart attack.
Anyone disagree?

Sir, the only one of your statement that has yet to be proven is #4. I'm not too sure that one will ever happen.
